A. Regarding Speech Baby usually start mono syllable by 6 to 7 months of age then by syllable words come by 9 to 10 months of age then by 12 to 14 months of age baby say two to three words followed by jargon speech at 15-16 months . child can start saying simple sentences by two years of age . just make the child comfortable and do more interaction wdith the child so that he can learn to speak sentences properly. if the speech does nzot comes even by three years of age you need to consult your doctor for a proper assessment of the child .

A. If You introduce one language at one time it would be easier for your child to understand and you can introduce Telugu later to the child because if you are living with your in-laws and your child is going to learn Hindi first and Telugu later so don’t introduce two languages at same time otherwise the child will get confused
